       Pascal 3.23+ is a minor upgrade to the 3.23 version  of	the
       Pascal  Workstation  software  for the series 200 and series
       300 systems.  The sole objective of this "release" is to add
       support for the HP-UX SRM-UX server.

       Please note that this "release", if it  should  be  approved
       and  carried  out,  will  not  be  a release in the standard
       meaning of the term. The floppy	disks  which  comprise	the
       release	would  be  only  available  with  the SRM/UX server
       itself, and will never appear on the CPL.  If  and  when  an
       official  release of the Pascal Language System supports the
       SRM/UX server, the 3.23+ disks will stop being shipped  with
       the  server, and the functionality provided by 3.23+ will be
       subsumed by that release of PaWS.

       Please note that 3.23+ is only a  proposal  at  this  stage.
       There has been no committment to provide 3.23+ disks to ship
       with the server, nor has there been any committment to  ship
       3.23+ should the disks be provided.

       The purpose of 3.23+ is to provide  timely  support  of	the
       SRM/UX  server.	It  was originally proposed to provide this
       feature in the next release of PaWS. There  are	other  must
       objectives  of  the  next  release  of  PaWS,  however, that
       preclude the possibility  of  this  release  shipping  in  a
       timely fashion relative to the SRM/UX server ship date. Note
       that 3.23+ will not replace the next release  of  PaWS,	but
       rather  provide an interim solution to the problem of timely
       SRM/UX support.

       3.23+ itself would consist of one single-sided 3 1/2" floppy
       and  one  single-sided  5  1/4"	floppy. These floppies will
       contain just enough new code (relative to 3.23) to make	the
       3.23 release of PaWS SRM/UX capable. A README sheet would be
       provided describing the	step-by-step  process  of  updating
       3.23 with the provided files.  After the update process, the
       manual "SRM/UX:	System	Administration	and  User's  Guide"
       becomes	the  relevant document to describe using the Pascal
       Language System with the SRM/UX server.

       Note that no other documentation except the README  will  be
       necessary with the 3.23+ floppies.

       2.2  DDDDiiiisssskkkkssss

       Two single-sided (3 1/2" and 5 1/4") disks with volume label
       SRM-UX: will each contain the following files :

	 SRM
	 FILER
	 KERNEL

       The file SRM is to replace the file SRM which appears on the
       following 3.23 disks :
	 CONFIG: (single-sided)
	 ACCESS: (double-sided)

       The file FILER is the FILER which should be  used  with	the
       3.23+  system.	The  FILER  appears on the ACCESS: disk for
       both the single and double sided options.

       The file KERNEL contains  a  module  (KERNEL)  which  should
       replace	the  module  KERNEL  contained	in the 3.23 INITLIB
       file. Instructions on how to carry out  this  task  will  be
       detailed in the provided README.

       The actual update task (details left to the README) consists
       of :
	 1.) Copying the disks that  must  change  to  preserve  an
       original
	     3.23 system.
	 2.) Modifying the copied disks appropriatly.

       The modified copies together with the remaining	3.23  disks
       that  did  not  require	update will comprise a 3.23+ Pascal
       Language System.
